Your gonna need to exercise or diet (ideally both). Maybe not so much a formal diet just eating less than normal. For exercise, I recommend getting a good 30-60 minutes a day of something or other. My favorite method, DDR!

Is there anyplace you go to by car that's not too far? If so then walk or bike to that place. That'll help with exercise. I back to school almost every school day. That's about 3 or 4 miles (I think...)

Also eat abit less or do like I do. Skip lunch twice a week :) (I don't skip lunch on purpose. I just don't go home and eat after class on those days.)

humm....I guess I could start taking my dog for longer walkes....but i have to drive to work, it 10 miles, and its always raining. Its just hard to lose weight in winter, you cant exerise outside unless you want froste bite and guyms are crappie and expeniseve, and there so much good food at christmas...I'm doomed to grow fat :(

Just means you'll need to be outside more in the spring then. I always get abit rounded in November and December time. But I manage to get unrounded in the spring and summer. Don't supose your parents have a stationary bike around anywhere?

Within the law? This is GTA you're talking about... :suspicious:

Shauni, I'd take J's advice and go buy DDR. It's for PS2 ya know. :o

I know, but I would feel sad danceing in my room on my own, no way I would share the experince till I got better

As for getting GTA within the law, I ment getting a copy of it, not the actual game :P

Get an emulator for the game. They say you're not supposed to have the emulator unless you have the game. The emulator is supposed to be a backup incase something happens to your game. But who cares about some silly rule? I don't have kingdom hearts chain of memories for the GBA yet because it hasn't come out in the uk, but I have the emulator for it!

Failing this, you could get a loan or sell something. Got paypal?

I have decided to get the game after christmas, however, as far as I stand on emulators, I must admit, I used to have lots of them, but since I started working full time I found it better and easier to just buy them, and that stuiped rule, is a stupied law, and i know people say that doing these illigale copies doenst hurt anyone, just think, maybe a couple of million are lost each year because of them, that could have gone towards all kind of game devlopment

It's actually called a rom. The emulator is the program you play roms with. Emulators are legal, roms aren't unless you own the original game. Personally, I like to support companies that make things I like. Also, since I'm studying to be a game designer myself, I really dislike game pirating. Personally I only use roms if I already own the original and want to play the game on my computer so I can use quick save, get screen captures, and the like.

Well I don't own most of the games I've "pirated" anymore; but I did when I was younger, which I think is the same thing in effect, right?
